PACKAGE FOR CANDY BARS Filed May 20. 1950 Patented Jan. 10, 1933 UNITED STATES JOHN I-I. WAR-E, JR., OF OXFORD, PENNSYLVANIA PACKAGEY FOR CANDY BARS Application filed May 20,

The principal object of the present invention is, while substantially protecting a group of candy bars against breaking and against the dust and the like of the atmosphere, to

enable the package to be conveniently and readily opened so that one or more of the bars can be removed.

To this and other ends hereinafter stated or appearing, the invention comprises a tab cut and projecting from a generally rectangular sheet of glassine which covers the bars and is diagonally tucked into the package in such a way that the tab projects midway of one marginal edge of the package while the hole formed by the cutting of the tab from the sheet of glassine is substantially covered, thus the bars are enclosed in the package and the tab is presented for convenient pulling.

In the following description reference will be made to the accompanying drawing forming part hereof and in which Figure l is a face view of the glassine front sheet showing the tab cut therefrom and suitably labeled.

2b Fig. 2 is a frontview of the package, and

Fig. 3 is a rear View of the package indicating concealed parts in dotted lines.

In the drawing l is a generally rectangular sheet of glassine or cellophane having G0 stamped or cut therefrom a tab 2 integral with and projecting from the sheet. This tab 2 is arranged within the margin andy symmetrically on a diagonal of the sheet l, for

u a purpose that will hereinafter appear. In the package the sheet l overlies and covers the bars of candy 3, and is arranged diagonally in respect to the backing 4. The corner portion of sheet l that is provided with the tab 2 is tucked in between the rectangular back- CAB ing 4, as of cardboard, and the bars of candy 3, and the packing 4 supporting the roof of the tab 2 causes it to substantially cover the hole 5 formed by the cutting out of the tab 2. The other three corner portions of the sheet l are tricked in between the backing 4 and cover strips 6 secured thereto. There is a comparatively small opening along the edge of the package opposite the upstanding portion of the tab, Fig. 3. Three strips 6 are shown, but the number is not important, and

they do not extend beyond the edges of the backing.

A pull upon the tab 2 results in the withdrawal of the corner of the sheet l, to which it is attached, thus exposing the bars of candy 3, in such manner that one or more of them can be withdrawn while at the same time the package remains intact. The corner can be again tucked in and withdrawn in a similar manner.
